An on-site visit from the Texas Education Agency as part of its investigation into the Beaumont school district will have to wait for state testing to conclude this summer.

The district is being watched, nonetheless, at least for the next week while high school students continue taking state exams required to graduate.

As of Wednesday afternoon, monitors who have been observing the administration of those exams in the three Beaumont high schools have not reported any evidence of cheating, said DeEtta Culbertson, TEA spokeswoman.

The TEA sent the monitors as part of the agency's investigation into cheating allegations at the district's high schools.

The agency's investigation is also focusing on complaints about the district's special education program, student attendance accounting and finance accounting.

No timetable has been given for when the formal investigation will begin.

Investigators will examine records for discrepancies regarding student attendance and finance accounting, said Leroy Saleme, a former BISD employee who works with the TEA auditing school districts.

They will also ensure that the district is providing the required services and following state guidelines in its special education program, he said.
